Rishmague Scores a Double Knockout

Rishmague scores double knockout

Blinds 1,500-3,500

In a three-way min-raised pot to the {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop the action escalated as a pot of more than 300k emerged with two players at risk against "Rishmague".

Alex "El Internado" Balaguer: {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Marcello "D@rk_M@tter1" Miniucchi: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Clubs}
"Rishmague": {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts} turn instantly provided the flush and the {2-Clubs} river failed to keep Balaguer and Miniucchi in contention.

Radoja Unlucky and Busted

Blinds 1,500-3,000

Jesse "AAGenius88" Mercado potted in the small blind and Mark Radoja defended the big. Mercado potted the {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop and called when Radoja shoved for not much more.

Mercado: {a-}{8-}{4-}{3-}
Radoja: {a-}{k-}{q-}{7-}

Radoja was in fine shape especially when he turned the {k-Clubs} for trips, but the {5-Clubs} on the river gave Mercado a straight.
